You may be the best person to verify a bug once it's fixed (because you
might be the only person that's seen it _and_ reported it). That's why
it's especially important for you to file a bug if you see one. Also,
filing bugs is not a one-way communication. Often additional
information is needed before the bug can be truly understood and fixed,
and being able to contact the person that originally saw the bug is
invaluable.
It shouldn't take more than a 5-10 minutes to file a good bug.

I won't explain on-list why I don't use the bug reporter, as it'll
probably just start an argument [or worse]. Let's just take it as
given.
With that in mind, why is it that Apple can't employee one or two
people to watch the lists, and automatically submit bug reports and/or
documentation updates? It seems to be a waste of good money for a
$100AU-an-hour developer to spend that hour reporting a bug, when some
evangelistic student could do it for them at $20AU-an-hour (and who'd
be reading the lists anyway). This is a serious question, not a
whinge*. I would expect it would help out everyone - 3rd party and
Apple developers alike - if someone else could worry about the details
and producing simple sample cases and all that.
